Theresa May is facing a fresh headache as Europhiles on her backbenches gang up to seize control of Brexit.
Pro-Remain Tories were last night accused of plotting to re-write parliamentary rules to put them in the driving seat if the Prime Minister is defeated in the Commons tomorrow.
Former Attorney General Dominic Grieve will today team up with Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable to publish draft legislation revealing how they could push for a second referendum.
Meanwhile, former Tory ministers Sir Oliver Letwin and Nick Boles will host a meeting of like-minded MPs to plan how they will block a 'no-deal' Brexit.
It comes after 20 Tory MPs last week helped inflict a humiliating defeat on the Government over Brexit after Commons Speaker John Bercow tore up parliamentary convention.
As Britain prepares for a tumultuous week in politics, Andrew Pierce profiles the plotters-in-chief and the MPs conspiring to stop a hard Brexit.
Dominic Grieve, 62: (Beaconsfield, Leave vote 50.7%)
Dominic Grieve, 62: (Beaconsfield, Leave vote 50.7%) - Happy to risk a general election rather than see a no deal
Still brooding over his ministerial career ending more than four years ago when he lost his job as Attorney General.
Assumed he had been destined for greater things. A Francophile with a French mother and QC father who was a Tory MP.
Educated at a French school, Westminster (annual fees up to £37,700) and Oxford.
Happy to risk a general election rather than see a no deal. Spotted last year in Brussels leaving a meeting of campaigners for a second referendum.
Anna Soubry, 62: (Broxtowe, Leave vote 54.6%)
Conservative MP Anna Soubry speaks at a Peoples Vote anti-Brexit rally at Victoria Hall, Sheffield on Saturday
Shockingly abused by Right-wing thugs last week outside Parliament who called her a 'Nazi'.
Increasingly detached from the Government with pro-Europe views with which she tours TV and radio studios.
Comprehensive school-educated, studied law and was a TV presenter before going into politics. Quit the Tories in 1983 to join the SDP but then rejoined the party when it was led by Eurosceptic Iain Duncan Smith.
Has threatened to side with Labour to bring down the Government to prevent no deal.

At Cambridge, he joined the societies of all three main political parties. His PhD was titled ethics, emotion and the unity of the self.
A member of Mrs Thatcher's policy unit, which came up with the much-hated poll tax.
Seen as an unworldly egghead out of touch with voters – the proof being his call for big public spending cuts during the 2001 election campaign.
Other gaffes include saying he'd rather 'beg on the streets' than send his two children to state schools.
Tasked with implementing the Leveson inquiry into Press standards, he cooked up a deal which would have introduced statutory regulation of newspapers for the first time in centuries.
Nick Boles, 53: (Grantham and Stamford, Leave vote 59%)
Oxford and Harvard-educated. Part of the so-called Notting Hill Set of posh cronies who powered David Cameron to No. 10

Brexiteer Michael Gove's campaign manager when he stood for the Tory leadership. Quit as a minister in 2016 before May could sack him after he called for pensioners to lose free prescriptions and winter fuel payments.

Controversially criticised the PM for 'the height of political vulgarity' for wearing leather trousers in a photoshoot
The former Education Secretary has been a persistent thorn in the side of Mrs May who sacked her in her first Cabinet reshuffle.

She later apologised but was exposed for hypocrisy when photographed herself with a £950 Mulberry handbag.
The Oxford-educated solicitor considered standing as party leader in 2016 but humiliatingly got only a handful of MPs to back her. Still rankles over her demotion from Cabinet.

Faced calls to resign after his family car was seen to have a window sticker saying 'b******s to Brexit, it's not a done deal'
Has become arch-villain for hard-Brexiteers. But his impartiality and favouritism are very serious charges considering his key role.
Faced calls to resign after his family car was seen to have a window sticker saying 'b******s to Brexit, it's not a done deal'. Seen by Remainer MPs as their most important weapon in the battle to stop Britain leaving the EU.

Former...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
